Relief Area Manager, Subway SA

“I have worked in the fast-food industry for over a decade. I became the manager at Subway as a teenager and quickly worked my way up

the ranks to become an area manager who is responsible for eight stores. I have a wealth of work experience and a strong management background, but

no formal education to back it up. This hit home when I

missed out on a job opportunity because I lacked the relevant

university qualifications.

Studying online means I can prioritise my time with my young children. I can study full-time and not worry that my degree will interfere with
